BlackBerry DTEK50 review
When the rumors BlackBerry was going to release a mid-range Android device started to appear, I wasn't really sure what to expect as an end result. As it turns out, the DTEK50 is a nice looking device that is pretty much up for anything you throw at it and while it doesn't include all the latest and...

- Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 out of the box
- Great virtual keyboard
- Mostly stock Android experience
- Continual and fast security updates
Cons:
- No RGB LED
- only white
- No OIS on the camera
- Bigger battery would have been appreciated

BlackBerry DTEK50 review: Pushing the security narrative
It's usually not a coincidence when a company goes back to its roots, which is hardly a surprise in BlackBerry's case. Even amidst its current malaise, BlackBerry's image is still centered around security, and so, its latest smartphone pushes that narrative.

BlackBerry DTEK50 Review
BlackBerry is still in the game and it's using Android to get them back on its feet. If the Priv is way too much for you to enjoy a BlackBerry phone, then the DTEK50 we have here wants to address that concern.
Pros:
- Sturdy build
- Good display
- Great overall performance
- An affordable BlackBerry device
Cons:
- A bit light for our liking
- Additional BlackBerry features are not skin deep
- Lacks a fingerprint scanner
- Average battery life

As expected for many years now, BlackBerry has announced that it will no longer build smartphones itself . Phones with BlackBerry's branding will be designed, manufactured and marketed by partners while the company itself focuses on software.
